Part 66: World of Ruin
Chapter 65 - World of RuinAnd we're back to the normal schedule. "Normal".
Tifa: "I'm... hungry."
I must say...
I really like this transition. The transition from his text lines scattered across the screen to the proper dialog box. It's as if his voice is far away, until he mentions "him".
The truth hurts.
Well that sure makes me feel better thanks Barret!
NOW I'm better.
Sure, why not?
Shouldn't people be worried about a coma? You'd think Barret would have been happier to see her waking up. Then again, look at what Tifa did.
If only he hadn't let her recruit Cloud his brilliant plan of messing up with the world's biggest military dictatorship with magic power and alien cells surely would have worked!
Bummer, we can't rush to the final dungeon yet.
In R'Lyeh Sephiroth awaits dreaming.
That sure takes off the weight from our shoulders. That means we can go back to play on Gold Saucer as soon as we're out of here.
Oh lord.
It's Godzilla all over again.
We know what they are you dork. We paid attention to Dr.Gast.
We know who's controlling the Weapons. Check Chapter 64's last image.
So much for defending the planet.
Barret has been into the Shinra ever since we got to that fraking Glacier.
Saving the world, the ultimate sign of unemployment in modern super-heroes.
Rufus is more old-fashioned, he prefers to be the "playboy billionaire heir who likes to punch the unemployed people who are unemployed thanks to him". A Batman dressed in white, if you will.
Oh yea, about that -
We're fucked.
I like that this is the first thing she says after looking at the situation.
At this point everyone just works under the assumption Cloud is this monster who can do everything whenever he's not screwing up.
It's a good thing he didn't show up then.
Huh.
This doesn't bode well.
You're not gonna pull an Empire Strikes Back on us, are you?
Oh for fuck's sake.
As much as this is based on shit that happens all the time in the real world you'd think a team of turbo freaks would be useful in an apocalyptic event.
And thus ends AVALANCHE. In the future, they'll be remembered as martyrs and there'll be holidays reminiscing their death.
You can move but can't really go away though. But look at those CRTs. Man, I love CRTs.
And so we begin our walk towards the end. It's quite morbid.
Such a low-hanging fruit.
I wanna be honest and say that when I saw Scarlet I found this funny as hell.
Like that scene in Dark Knight Rises where you find out the Scarecrow is sentencing people because that's all that's left for him to do.
Alright, let's get back to the situation at hand.
We're still fucked.
Another low-hanging fruit. Must resist.
History kinda backs her up. I mean, just look at the Romans.
Fine, Cloud can't come save us, but where is everyone?
Such a charming personality.
I was gonna say she punches Tifa into the chair, but a gif is needed.
A gif says a thousand words.
Conveniently, though, the guard drops his key on the ground. I'm pretty sure that key has more polygons than the guard who dropped it.
Still, her death is pretty imminent, so unless something happens, I can't see her getting out that fast.
Oh.
And with that, we conclude this update.
NEXT TIME:
Gigantic Monsters! Panic! Gas!
